Tesco’s animal ethics policy states: “Within our food business we aim for high animal welfare standards across all farming systems – from breeding and rearing through to transport and slaughter.

“For products sold in the UK, all supplying farms adhere to our robust Tesco Livestock Requirements.

“These species-specific standards are independently audited by Integra Food Secure Ltd. In markets where suppliers are working to legal requirements, we aim to work with our supply chain partners to drive improvements in standards up the supply chain.”
